Question HDMI 2.1 switch/splitter 2 in 2 out

[Switch2.1]

Hello,





I am looking for a switch as said in the title : a switch for HDMI v2.1, that has 2 in and 2 out and that can display everything at the same time.

Little example to be clear :

I have a PC which i want to use either on a 165Hz display, either on a TV in 4K HDR.

Same for a PS5, either on the screen either on the TV.



So first problem is to find a switch which is 2 in AND 2 out, which for a reason I don't understand seems pretty uncommon.

Second problem : I want it to be HDMI 2.1. Because of the refresh rate of the screen, which I want to use both with the PC and the PS5 for FPS games, the definition of the TV and the fact that I want it to be future proof, I want the switch to be working with HDMI 2.1.

Third problem : it has to be able to display both at the same time. PC on the TV, PS5 on the screen or vice versa, I want to be able to put everything everywhere at the same time. So for example me playing on the PS5 on the screen and someone watching something via the PC on the TV at the same time. It seems to be named "matrix switch" but I am not 100% sure of this information.



So I was wondering if anyone had any idea for a HDMI switch/splitter that check all these boxes that would exist please ?
Ideally something available in Europe, but if not I would already be happy to have one !







Thank you in advance.

You are a god thank you for that.

What do you mean by that please ? That I didn't understand the meaning or that I didn't look for "matrix switch" ?

A "matrix" switch allows any input to connect to any output.
